Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Presumed first printing of the first edition. 1994. Approx. 10.25 x 7.25 inches. Red cloth hardboards, with crisp gilt lettering to the spine. Lightly bumped spine head and tail, and with sharp corners. A very clean binding. Text block firmly bound in. With ix and 205 numbered pages on off-white, semi-glossy stock. Note that a previous owner has made a few tiny marks, mostly as tiny black ink circles, in the margins of the introductory section of the text; else an immensely clean interior. Illus. include several B&W figures and tables. No dust jacket is present. A Very Good Plus to Near Fine copy. 1 lb. 9 oz. William G. Boltz is an American sinologist. This book sketches with extraordinary precision the history of the Chinese writing system from the late Shang (ca. 1200 B.C.) when Chinese characters are first in evidence down to the script's standardization and codification a millennium later in the Ch'in and Han (221 B.C.-A.D. 220).

The author also examines the question of why the Chinese script never became alphabetic, in spite of hints of such tendencies in the third and second centuries B.C.…

Descrizione dello Store

Welcome to the books platform of Marc Sena Carrel. I operated a professional book business between 2003 and 2017 in the San Francisco Bay Area, including via AbeBooks, and I am now a private party selling off fine books from my personal collection. I carry a choice selection of books, prints and ephemera for the discriminating customer. I focus on scholarly and antiquarian books, with a special emphasis on art books. From time to time I also offer original prints, including but not limited to antique Japanese ukiyo-e prints. Additionally I go in for occasional ephemera. Currently on offer via Abebooks are select titles. My selection is more eclectic and off the beaten path than mainstream and predictable. Please e-mail me at marcsenacarrel@gmail.com if you have any questions or concerns. I will be happy to be of service. Thank you.…
